TnE Fnrette Dcmocrat closes an editori

THE Fayette Democrat closes IN editorial
on the Senatorial muddle in this wise
Did you ever hear the story of the
wrecked sailor off the coast of North Caro-
lima, who being saved by miracle as it
were, from the sea, swOre he would never
go to sea" again, so he hired himself to a
farmer, who put him to work blowing in
the field, with steer, a pet heifer and
donkey for his team, the donkey in the
lead. Who, after doing his best TO break
up the ground as best he could; but when
the steer SHE'D off from the plOw
clear around with his head TO the plow,
and the heifer doing The same, and clos
ing in on the donkey on both sides, too
much in order of squeeze" when the
donkey opened up the batteries of his
heels, the sailor left off" went TO the
house and told the farmer he must give up
the Job; that the 'larbO'rd OK" had round
ed up" TO STAFFORD" and the ''starbo'rd
OK" Swung round" to larbO'rd" and he
tween 'em they got the iackass amid
ship" and the whole rig" had gone to
HI over the hill together, and he guess
ed he'd try the sea again"
This seems to fit the case exactly.

them, ana lew A SIlChEEN N 'NA' S
years of Alaskan womanhOOd takes all
the beauty and grace out Of them.
''The young women, however, in some
eases, are not ut all bad looking. A girl
becomes a woman at the age Of II or l3
years in Alaska, and have seen some such
girls who were really quite pretty. The
best looking of the young Alasken girls
are the Indians who are found along the
Stickeen river valley, or the Haidah girls
of Prince of Wales Island. Here is 4 pic
ture of Julia, a Stickeen river girl. She IL
dressed in a plain cottage garment and
she has n Turkish bath towel wound
around her head for ornament. There IS
ring in her nose and she has pair of
very soft, beautiful eyes. Julia, like all
Indian girls here, dresses in long, plain
cotton undergarments when at home, and
when she goes out she has q gayly colOred
/ blanket which she throws about her
shoulders. How this blanket is worn can
be seen in this picture Of Haidah girl.
The sketch represents a girl Of IL or IL,
and very fair type of the prettiest Of the
| Haidahs she is. These Haidah girls have
relatively fair skin, soft, dove like eyes,
aud they are made on what in American
society would be called the aristocratic
plan, since they have very small, sym
meterical hands and small feet, and their
/ inSteps are so high that the water can
run under them without touching the sole.
| They are very passionate and hot
| blooded, and they would be graceful were
| il not for their pigeon tOed gait. They
] are really modest when in the presence OF
white men, keep their eyes nearly always
on the ground and are forward in no way
whatever. Some of them have q delicate
peach bloom blush or blood mantling upon
/ their cheeks, and their complexion is that
of a very dark brunette They are like our
! American girls in their love for iewelry,
and wear rings upon their fingers and in
their ears, with bracelets of beaten silver
and copper around their wrists. The Sit
kan girls have many good natured ones
among their number and n great many ill
tempered ones, too. Like the Haidahs
and the other Alaskan Indians, they wear
night and day this long nightgown OF
chemise made Of stout cotton drilling, and
that constitutes their only protection from
the weather with the exception Of the
blanket above mentioned.
AT what aye do Alaska girls marry ?'
at all ages, from II years upward.
Marriage in Alaska is a matter of no SEN
timent whatever. The young men pick
out the girls whom they think would best
keep house for them, and who will do the
most work for them. One man often has
several wives, and he gets them by paying
for them. After she is married q squaw
has plenty do. She is expected TO DE a
carrier of wood and drawer of water.
She sauats upon the shore and waits for
her husband TO bring in his boat load OF
fish, aud then it Is her duty "a
clean the fish and prepare
| them for driving for win,

ruE MAXWELL LANp eRANr.

The Maxwell land grant that has just
been confirmed as valid by the Supreme
Court Of the United States, includes I, 200,
900 acres in Colorado and New Mexico.
This makes a territory twice the size Of
Rhode Island Il consists Of the finest
grazing lands in North America, and has
upon it nearly $1,000 inhabitants. One
of the towns, Trinidad, has population
of 1000 All these people are declared
squatters by the Supreme Court decision,
and the Maxwell Land Grant Company
now have the law on their side to eject
them.
This grant was made by the Spanish
Government in 1882 to two French Cana
iau traders on condition that they should
LIANT a Canadian colony on the land. When
ie United States acquired this territory
ION Mexico, after the Mexican war, the
oyernment recognized these old Spanish
rants. maxwell was one Of General
REMONT's scouts and had married q
aughter Of one Of these two Canadian
rantees, thus inheriting the rich territory
nat has so long been under dispute. But
ne became bankrupt and the land was
seized by his creditors and sold to COM
pany of Dutch traders. From these, much
of il passed into the hands of prominent
politicians, who have made n rich thing
from the speculation.
But while this has been done according
to law it is monstrOus wrong against the
5000 people who have settled on the land
and built themselves homes. II looks
like little else but legal robbery Of Ameri'

such is the law. As American law is moi

"How do the Alaskan women amuse

''They have not much time for amuse'

They retail all the scandal of the village,

spots in the large, white ring at the other
two quarters Of the circle, opposite the sun
dogs. The most beautiful feature of the
phenomena was very bright and large
crescent, Just above the Gun, which was
composed Of bright pri.matic cOlors. There
were similar phenomena round the moon
